im sorry i was a lil confused it needs the intake suction or it can cause oil leaks im pretty sure the front one can be filtered but its best with thw box and the back one has to have intake suction or it will cause leaks oil out the dipstick or next weakest link.

And you have some SERIOUS sag in the rear end....
Never done it personally, but I've heard some horror stories from people using bumpers as air tanks,

Only the rear CCV fitting needs suction, the front one just provides a filtered source of fresh air. BTW, there is no valve in the CCV system on an XJ, its basically a tube from the filtered side of the air box, a metered orifice and a vacuum line to the intake manifold.
I'm kinda confused, its a 2nd Gen, with a 1st gen header panel, and quarter panels.

I think I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning so excuse me if this comes off as rude or smart-aleky, that wasn't my intention.

I believe this horse has already been beat to death, not just here, but on every forum regarding automobiles on the internet. It's just an air filter, it isn't going to create gobs of torque or horsepower. One thing it will do is make the engine louder. This isn't typically a desirable trait in an automobile, so manufacturers go to great lengths to quiet down the induction system. However, there are a few of us who actually like to hear our engines, and so we do stuff like this. I personally enjoy hearing my engine note through my snorkel; I think it sounds kind of cool.

I seriously think that some people on this thread need to get their panties out of a bunch. Don't take EVERYTHING someone says on here as a personal attack. 99% of the time its not, and instead its just someone pointing something out, or giving their $.02 about something.

It was a simple question ... take it at face value and stop imagining things!

Huh? WTF are you going on about? What has been beat to death? I simply asked if the filter was going to be air starved or not (in different words), y'know, it being an air filter & all. I don't care about his horsepower or any of that crap. I've never seen anyone route the air filter into a "dead-end" corner, especially up near the booster. Why don't you give the person this was directed at, a chance to respond?

I swear some people need to just stay off the internet.
